Jordan: Thanks, but I want to beat you Jordan Henderson believes he owes Hull City manager Steve Bruce a debt of gratitude, but the midfielder will put everything to one side when he runs out at the KC Stadium this Sunday. The 23-year-old established himself as a Barclays Premier League regular at Sunderland during the two seasons that the pair worked together for the Black Cats. Such was the young Hendersons encouraging form under Bruces tutelage that the England international subsequently earned a transfer to Liverpool in the summer of 2011. The Reds No.14 has not forgotten his former mentors help; however, friendly relations will be put on hold when Liverpool face Bruce and Hull in the Premier League this weekend. Henderson told Liverpoolfc: I was at Sunderland with Steve Bruce, who I thought was brilliant for Sunderland and me personally. Ive got a lot to thank him for, but hopefully we beat him on Sunday. Its another big game for us and we need to keep pushing on. Were all looking forward to it. Im sure hell have them ready and raring to go on Sunday. It will be a very difficult game, so we need to make sure were right on it from the start. We just need to keep playing like we have - if we do that, with our intensity, then Im sure well be okay. Henderson and co travel to the newly-promoted outfit searching for a victory following last weekends dramatic 3-3 draw in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. Brendan Rodgers charges have the dual incentive of maintaining second place in the division and kicking off a month which includes seven fixtures with a positive result at Hull. The midfielder added: Its always important to get three points. We go into every game wanting to win it and Sunday will be no different. Were looking forward to it and hopefully we can do the job. It doesnt matter, home or away, we take each game as it comes. We want to win every game were involved in. We have had a couple of difficult away games. I think were doing okay but we can still improve and keep pushing on. Hopefully, with a few wins, we can push even higher. Were trying to work on the mistakes that we make in games - hopefully we can put them right for the next game on Sunday.
